OSWEGO, N.Y. — Oswego County Federal Credit Union (FCU) plans to donate $25,000 to a variety of area nonprofit organizations throughout April and May.
Now in its second year, the credit union developed this initiative to increase “employee involvement and presence” within the communities the organization serves, per its announcement.
The selection of the recipient organizations involved employees at each of Oswego’s five branches suggesting nonprofits or charities which were then voted upon within each branch to determine which organizations would receive a check personally delivered by Oswego County FCU employees.
